Save the date for LPAC’s first ever front porch concert festival!

Live music will be staged on multiple front porches in the cozy, historic tree area.

For one weekend the Laramie Pop-Up Artwalk will transform downtown Laramie into a dynamic artspace filled with art, live theatre, music, demos and opportunities for the public to make art. The mission of the event is to create a downtown event that is fully inclusive and highlights visual and performing artists.

The Artwalk is being organized by members of the Wyoming Art Party in partnership Laramie Main Street Alliance.

LPAC is hosting a listening session for residents of the West Side Neighborhood on July 10 at 7 pm at the Lincoln Community Center regarding the sculpture pads on the base of the new bridge.
